Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is securely adhered to the surface using adequate low-tack adhesive. Use minimal paint on your brush and apply in thin coats with a dabbing motion. Avoid overloading the brush.
Stencil not sticking well
Reapply a suitable low-tack adhesive to the back of the stencil. Ensure the surface you are applying it to is clean and dry.
Uneven paint application
Use a stencil brush and apply paint in thin, even layers. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Practice on a scrap surface if unsure.
Stencil tearing or stretching
Handle the stencil gently, especially when removing it. Avoid pulling or stretching the material. If reusing, ensure all paint residue is removed and it is stored flat.
